Top TED Talks and Podcast Deep Dive
We'll be working on your listening, logic and critical thinking skills to dissect TED talks and presentations on the planet's most popular podcasts
Kursinhalt
We'll be exploring and broadening your English skills by using TED talks as a foundational guideline before stepping into the vast domain of popular podcasts such as the Tim Ferris Show, The Joe Rogan Experience, Side Hustle Pro and much more.
This is a great class for young people, teens and gifted elementary school students too!
I'll be sending students who enroll a TED topic to watch before class, optionally, we also skip to key notes in case you're on the run and can't videos temporarily!
Some TED topics students have enjoyed touch on:
- Technology and the future
- Psychology
- Schooling
- Health and productivity
- Motivation and inspiration
Here's a link to TED Talks in case you're unfamiliar.
The TOP TED Talks I've covered with students are here:
Your Elusive Creative Genius
Elizabeth Gilbert discusses how people associate creative works with mental health issues and fear of not being good enough, and suggests ways to construct barriers between work and this anxiety.
Body Language
Amy Cuddy explains how our own body language can influence our self-confidence and stress levels.
The Orchestra In My Mouth
Tom Thum demonstrates his unique ability to warp and manipulate his vocal chords to make inhuman noises.
The Surprising Science of Happiness
Dan Gilbert breaks down happiness into two components and reveals a shocking truth about the choices we make that effect our happiness
The Power of Vulnerability
Brené Brown shares a deep insight from her research on human connection, empathy, belonging, and love.
Choice, Happiness & Spaghetti Sauce
Malcolm Gladwell explores the story of a man who refused to believe in a ‘perfect’ spaghetti sauce, and how it relates to our understanding of choice and happiness.
Philosophy For A Happy Life
Sam Berns, who passed away in 2014, shares his philosophy for a happy life, and how he refused to let his illness define him.
A Kinder, Gentler Philosophy of Success
Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure and questions the assumptions underlying these judgments.
What Does It Take to Change A Mind
Lucinda Beaman offers a framework for understanding how we process information and how we can connect with those who disagree with us.
What Reality Are You
